Lyrics
Undertaking the Overkilled
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Molding a death-machine
Inculcating an abhorrence of life
The language of violence, so pure and clean
The bleeding edge of existential strife
In a world lit only by fire
Defined solely by contours of pain
Praises of death sung ever higher
Madness begins to sound sane
Undertaking the overkilled
Sustained by the blood that they've spilled
The mass grave yawns as it's overfilled
Undertaking the overkilled
A thin line between reason and violence
Between derangement and sanity
In cold blood, it festers in silence
Internecine misanthropy
These violent fantasies
Encroaching by degrees
Thoughts start to metastasize
Carnage soon realized
A conscience benumbed
A spirit deafened and dumb
Thoughts marching in time with the thrum
Of the danse macabre your life has become
Undertaking the overkilled
Sustained by the blood that they've spilled
The mass grave yawns as it's overfilled
Undertaking the overkilled
Thirsting for slaughter
A ravening hunger for claret and gore
Smelling blood in the water
And desperately demanding more
Phrenetic and rabid
Decorum and empathy long since forgotten
Your addiction so avid
Unable to smell that it's you who've gone rotten
Undertaking the overkilled
Sustained by the blood that they've spilled
The mass grave yawns as it's overfilled
Undertaking the overkilled
The overkilled
